TL;DR: Food insecurity among first-year college students is highly prevalent and has implications for academic performance and health outcomes, and higher education institutions should screen for food insecurity and implement policy and programmatic initiatives to promote a healthier college experience.

TL;DR: Food security interventions and administrative policy should consider a new model of the traditional campus food pantry that reduces concerns of social stigma and is supported by clear and ongoing communications of operational procedures tailored for the college student population.

TL;DR: Food insecurity was associated with obesity and poor dietary intake among both sexes and MP subsidies may be a reasoned approach to combat food insecurity, it should be coupled with efforts to assist students in making healthy food choices.

TL;DR: Relationships between Bulimia, Dietary Restraint and Exercise, and Restriction compensatory behaviors and binge drinking should be considered in interventions to address binge drinking among college students.

TL;DR: These barriers need to be systematically addressed to normalize food pantry use and consideration of student recommendations by university program developers and policymakers may be of added value to expand access to food by college students with food insecurity.
